Creating Plant Patterns 2021, Part 1 of 4 Episode #92

[@michelezebell3133]

Thank you for sharing how you create your plantings. Rather than prescriptive, you are giving us a way of thinking. Truly helpful and inspirational. Thank you!

[@missthang4770]

What a lovely, thoughtful and intelligent presentation! I'm so happy to have stumbled upon this gardening philosopher.

[@aliaroberts8046]

Thank you for your video and book sharing! I really enjoyed learning from you in this video and am looking forward to more of your teaching. I appreciate your plant knowledge, design approach and questions-

[@twelvegardensltd.807]

Thanks Roy for this whole worldview. The young plants in the traffic island as "children" and asking about the emotions involved, and also sharing how long it took to learn about this approach of how long it takes plants to grow in and how they grow together-thanks for your generosity.

[@RoyDiblik]

thank you!

Q

[@joannemurphy7407]

I attended a great lecture of yours at Plant O Rama a few years ago at Brooklyn BG and happy to find you here now on KZbin, thanks to Erin of The Impatient Gardener.

[@RoyDiblik]

Wow, thank you!

[@thebloomingidiot9715]

Thank you Roy, you are a calming and reassuring voice to gardening! You give me confidence that I can make my garden make sense. You are awesome 😇

[@RoyDiblik]

thank you! you can do it!!

[@hobbitlady7568]

Wow, this is so very helpful! Thank you for sharing. You are making a difference for me and how I can think through placement a bit more. Kind regards.

[@RoyDiblik]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ivak5428]

Thanks, it's all great, but do you do perenial vegetable gardens?.

[@thegardensanctuary2248]

Gardening is so fun! It's like being a kid again creating a picture to hang on the refrigerator, but the real life version. I'm excited to see my plants fill in. Love this so much. Endless possibilities. 🥰😍🌾🌷🌸🌼🌹🌲🦋🐞🐝

[@RoyDiblik]

So true! thanks for watching!

[@ichtus11]

Thanks Roy! I'm all ears! I feel it's so important to get to know this way of looking to plants and there habits. As a Dutchman rewinding the video quite a lot to make sure I follow you all the way. Hope to visit your area sometime to look at you designs.

[@RoyDiblik]

Perfect!

[@jayneteal-jeffery6283]

Opened me up to a completely different way of thinking. I love it.

[@RoyDiblik]

fantastic! thanks for watching!

[@22vals]

Roy really appreciate you sharing all of your knowledge and interest in our world

[@RoyDiblik]

thank you!

[@laurieh9388]

A book Im currently enjoying is The Heirloom Gardener by John Forti.

[@RoyDiblik]

great suggestion! I've enjoyed that also!

[@Jan-R-]

Thanks Roy. What if we do not have information about a plant’s potential growth, can you suggest what steps to take?

[@natecorcky]

Roy's a gem!

[@RoyDiblik]

thank you!

[@xchuckr]

Roy, thank you so much for sharing. Your work and these videos are inspiring. I’m sure I’m not alone in my appreciation. Here’s a topic that confuses me: large groupings. I think I have a handle on the concept of visual scale (though I’d love to hear your take on that issue). In my inexperience, I have trouble balancing the intermingling implied by recommendations such as “60% Autumn Bride/40% hosta” with encouragements to “place in larger groups; it enjoys its own company.” Is there a way to recognize when it is appropriate to have, say, 100% Autumn Bride simply bordered by compatible plants? Thanks again for your work!

[@xchuckr]

Roy, thanks for addressing this in part 3. 👍🏻

[@RoyDiblik]

you're welcome...thanks for tuning in!

[@bellarosa009]

Hi Roy, thank you so much for the video! It was very helpful. I just got your book and LOVE it!! Looking forward to visiting Northwind Perennials soon as I live near Wisconsin.

[@RoyDiblik]

Awesome, thank you!

[@amyjones2490]

I love the look of grasses but am afraid they will reseed and take over here in zone 5 Michigan. Do you have suggestions for well behaved grasses?

[@RoyDiblik]

Most grasses sold at retail nurseries won't reseed aggressively and take over.

[@DawnRenae22]

THANK YOU 🙏🏻

[@RoyDiblik]

You're so welcome! thanks for watching!

[@blibra1]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@RoyDiblik]

My pleasure!

[@elizabethmarshall5797]

Question on episode two. Limoneum and Echinacea. I am zone 6 New Jersey. Echinacea takes over and self seeds. Will Limoneum tame the spread of Echinacea? I ordered your book!!

[@RoyDiblik]

They’ll both self seed so you’ll prob have a war. You’ll have to be the referee and hoe out whatever you don’t want. Uncontrolled, echinacea will prob win given its relative height advantage.

[@brettprice527]

Hi, Roy... In my landscape business I've combined what I've learned from 'know maintenance' with what I've learned from "planting in a post wild world' and larry Weaner's book 'garden revolution. It's really a well rounded knowledge set and gives me the ability to deal with an entire property.

[@RoyDiblik]

sounds good!

[@vanessawaters4852]

I love this so much! I spend so much time researching this and planning in my garden journal. I love that this is done for me! Thank you!

[@RoyDiblik]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MrTravis]

...like a quilt....

[@RoyDiblik]

[@epic27fox]
